Kyiv is losing its colonial past/Channel 24 Ekaterina Handziuk, Roman Ratushny, Alexander Makhov and Plastova. And not only that.
The people of Kiev decided on the renaming of the streets.
New names
Consequently, Zholudeva Street will bear the name of the deceased hero Alexander Makhov. A warrior in spirit and one of the best military cows in the country.
Volgogradskaya Street will become Roman Ratushny Street. Who, in less than 25 years of his life, managed to do more for Kyiv than some in their entire lives.
Belomorskaya Street – Kherson activist Kateryna Handzyuk. A Ukrainian woman who defended her rights until her last breath.
Bagration Street – photojournalist Maxim Levin. You have definitely seen and admired his work. Even if you don't know it.
Sergienko Street will become Plastova – a tribute to Plast, to which I have the honor to be involved.
Marshal Tymoshenko Street – Ukrainian dissident Lukyanenko Levko. The legendary fighter against the “scoop”.
Marshal Malinovsky Street – Heroes of the Azov Regiment.
The so-called Astrakhanskaya Street will be called Kastus Kalinovsky. After whom the battalion of Belarusians is named, helping us in the fight against the Russian horde.
The beginning of a long journey
De-Russification of the Ukrainian land continues. The choice of Kyivans pleasantly pleases. The memory of Ukrainian heroes will be rooted in the streets of Kyiv and in the minds of future generations
I call on all cities of Ukraine to join such a national movement!
